Roberto Martinez confirmed that Darron Gibson is set to return to training next week for Everton, and hopes to see the midfielder in action again before season's end.

Gibson will provide depth upon his return, but with two central defensive midfield positions in Martinez's system, Gareth Barry and James McCarthy have had solid seasons and will likely continue their partnership through the remainder of the season. Still, he is young, has room to grow, and should figure more heavily next season assuming he stays fit. Fri, Apr 4, 2014 11:36:00 AM

Darron Gibson is set to miss significant time away from action for the second time already this season, after injuring his knee while playing for Republic of Ireland in their midweek World Cup qualifier.

This is shaping up to be a lost season for Gibson as he can't seem to stay on the pitch for very long without sustaining an injury. With Gareth Barry and James McCarthy added to Everton's midfield during the transfer window, Roberto Martinez isn't heavily dependent on Gibson's health. When he eventually does return to fitness, Gibson may find it difficult to crack the starting eleven. Wed, Oct 16, 2013 08:55:00 AM

Darron Gibson started in the Capital One Cup for Everton in mid-week marking his first action since the start of the 2013-14 campaign.

Darron Gibson has been missing all season so far after a strong pre-season showing. The midfielder started in the Toffees' League Cup match on Tuesday and played 68 minutes. Gibson's ability to start two matches in succession coming off of a significant injury layoff isn't certain but managers should expect him to be involved to at least some extent this weekend with increasing participation in the weeks ahead. Gibson still hasn't proven himself as a productive fantasy player but at a reasonable price (6.31) he is worth monitoring. Fri, Sep 27, 2013 05:11:00 PM

Darron Gibson is back in training for Everton but according to reports will not make it back until after the international break.

The break comes at exactly the right time for the former Manchester United man. If he doesn't play on Saturday then presumably Roberto Martinez would be justified in holding him out of Ireland's qualifier with Sweden on the 6th. Just how Gibson would feel about that isn't known but from Everton's point of view it would be ideal to give him the two weeks to fully recover from the injury and regain as much fitness as possible. Regardless, look for Fellaini in the holding role and Barkley attacking. Fri, Aug 30, 2013 02:43:00 PM
